rod stewart gave a interview to the bbc back in the 70's " some people say that our albums are a bit underwhelming, i tell them they need to see us live to get the full effect ". he was right they were one of the best live bands ever.
Tight, tight, tight! 😁 Seriously, though, Faces were rock and roll royalty. I'd love to see another band like them come along. I don't think there's ever been a better live band than Faces. Rod's voice, Ronnie's guitar, Ronnie Lane's beautiful bass, Ian McLagan's perfectly played keys and Kenney Jones very solid drumming (he's one of my favorite drummers). They were so dirty; I feel like I need a bath after listening to them. Dear God, they were good!
Man, I just totally dig that nasty dirty tone that Woody gets from his guitar here. and I know he carried it through on to the Stones. But I think it worked perfectly for his time in this great band The Faces it fit Rods vocal style perfectly.
Pure rock-n-roll at its finest. The title acclaims guitar heroes and highlights the lead guitar of Ronnie Wood but overlooks the superbative and much overlooked bass playing of the much loved Ronnie Lane. RIP.
It was never about "how well" they played - It was always about what they played and the feeling they had for the music. If you weren't there you'll never get it.
I was 12 in ‘72. I went out to my local record store for the first time. I bought Hunky Dory,A Nods As Good As A Wink,and Electric Warrior. I still consider these in my top ten albums,even now! Miss Judy’s Farm,which opens Nods As Good,is such a stone cold classic...what a guitar sound!
Welcome to Brit POP 1971 just a dirty rolling guitar sound backed by a gravel voice Rod along with a little piano banging in the back ground! Stunning balance of a bluesy sound........
A couple years ago I bought a Best of Faces CD on a whim. That cd stayed in the player for I don't know how long. Of course I was familiar with some of the tunes but I couldn't believe that I had never heard Miss Judy's Farm before. Such an awsome and raunchy tune. Solid rock.
What a f@#$€%g jam! So much attitude, swagger and groove ... and talent! Rod Stewart has to be one of the best singers and frontmen ever. He's got charisma to give away!
First saw this marvellous inebriated outfit at Sutton Granada in 1973.....best British rock band ever . Ronnie is a guitar genius IMHO ...being listening to them ever since and always will. Raw, blood and guts rock n roll.
Great live performance! Wonder if they were sober that night! Rod introduced this as a new number and I notice the lyrics were slightly different from the version that appeared on the A Nod's as Good as a Wink album. It's a gamble for a band to try out a new number on stage before officially releasing it but that's the Faces for you. They probably loved playing it on stage so they thought what the hell! let's do it.
Some Georgia Satellites sounds there. Scruffy chunky rock n roll licks. Add some tasty keyboards.. There was that rocker Rod Stewart that was backed solid and was great.
Thanks for the vid! I still love this band. A once in a lifetime event, where the parts are greater than the sum... And the sum was as good as it gets.
perhaps, but these bar bands never wrote this or had a singer like Stewart, but how could a bar band play a Faces song better than the Faces themselves? the Faces were a tremendous live band and it's patently obvious you never saw them live
Rocking' Good News !! Played the hell outa this lp, ANIAGAAWTABH, from the time it came out. Mum wasn't wild bout it, but ....... to be expected with SWM,this and ..... the rest. Still gets regular multiplayer times to this day. R&R !
@@baybae92 - my mom discovered Rod in the seventies and, at 90, is one of his biggest fans. I love his work before mainstream stardom and even Iggy Pop delved into an album of classic pop standards from the 1930s on.
@himycatisdead R+B/Blues was king in the early 1970s ;) I think the Rolling Stones even copied the Faces a bit at this time. Jeff Beck, Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart were doing this commercial R+B a bit before they mastered it. Although, Cream probably popularized it
+Michael Brunning I agree....I think this was when his voice was in peak form.....and while the ego was present....it wasn't all encompassing.....yet......but I have to say here the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.....
Rod started off young as a great singer with Long John Baldry's band and then with Jeff Beck but the Faces were even better. Unfortunately Rod became bigger than the band and after Woody left for the Stones, it all fell apart.

Rod at his prime…giving that mic the business. Woody is crunchy. The whole band was incredible.
This is no bar band.This is one of the greatest rock'n'roll bands that ever drew breath.
ditto
I have to agree with the Willster.
still is today bro in 2021
No, but they had the feel of a pub band. No pretentiousness, what you see is what you get. Pure talent.
Your are 100 percent spot on. Unbelievable

I love their albums, but live performance is always best with real musicians. Sadly I was too young in the early 70s to go out and see them.
STATUS QUO were the best and greatest LIVE Rock Band of all time.
This band was one of the greatest bands ever, right up there with the Stones and the Who!
They could run rings round those two second-rate bands.
Better than the who

this great band The Faces it fit Rods vocal

Rod at his best..with the Faces...
Kelvin Marshall i
yep
Now kids gather around...this is what we called "Dirty Rock N Roll" back in the day!!
Oh Ronnie that dam Zermatis ...what a sound , raw blood and guts rock n roll played by proper blokes.
Wonderful.
I think that’s my favorite bass sound ever. They just absolutely rip on this performance.
I agree Mark...I saw them in 1972 at the Sutton Granda, I was 15 . It was still today one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to . A complete riot.
Pure rock-n-roll at its finest. The title acclaims guitar heroes and highlights the lead guitar of Ronnie Wood but overlooks the superbative and much overlooked bass playing of the much loved Ronnie Lane. RIP.
That's absolutely true! Plonk was the sweetest character!

Eddie, you have excellent taste in music.
Thanks Alan I was just lucky to be born at the right time. 1971 was such a great year for rocknroll and it set me on a path of discovery

A Nod's as Good as a Wink - my very first LP. Ron Wood you're a Face, not a Stone.
Love the guitar distortion on this.
This is a good song with powerful performance.
What a f@#$€%g jam! So much attitude, swagger and groove ... and talent! Rod Stewart has to be one of the best singers and frontmen ever. He's got charisma to give away!

Raw, blood and guts rock n roll.
one hell of a wicked piece of music... they don;t make like that any more...
Seen Rod and the faces with Uriah Heep......................one of the best shows i've ever seen
Terry Burleyson same here. woo hoo!
World Series of Rock (Cleveland, OH) August 23, 1975?
Great live performance! Wonder if they were sober that night! Rod introduced this as a new number and I notice the lyrics were slightly different from the version that appeared on the A Nod's as Good as a Wink album. It's a gamble for a band to try out a new number on stage before officially releasing it but that's the Faces for you.

Rod lets that mic stand leg prang him in the face at 2:23; nice recovery though, didn't let on at all (that had to hurt!)
This song has such a cool groove...
Best concert I’ve ever seen was Faces at Rainbow Theatre in 72.
Great musicians complemented by a great singer and vice-versa
1972 2022 on ecoute toujours the faces
We in our older age can only hope the songs the Faces have been working on sound as good as this does....
Wonderful song..
Me love the faces!
Some Georgia Satellites sounds there. Scruffy chunky rock n roll licks. Add some tasty keyboards.. There was that rocker Rod Stewart that was backed solid and was great.
Wonder where the Satellites got it from?
So edgey and raw superb 👌
the band is so tight it's choking me!
Thanks for the vid! I still love this band. A once in a lifetime event, where the parts are greater than the sum... And the sum was as good as it gets.
All 5 failed the field sobriety test that night but no charges were brought forth! Rock on boys!
A legend of the 60s music want a band 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Fabulous band!
yup...this was ronnie lanes and ronnie woods groove...stewart had been discovered by Beck not much earlier than this.
What. A. Groove.
PERFECT!
Bloody cool
perhaps, but these bar bands never wrote this or had a singer like Stewart, but how could a bar band play a Faces song better than the Faces themselves? the Faces were a tremendous live band and it's patently obvious you never saw them live
fantastic !
@Khultan Not this one my friend...this is a Wood/Stewart number...opening track from the '71 album, 'A Nod's As Good As A Wink'...(to a blind horse) ;
Brilliant
love Ronnie Wood's guitar tone
jacko717 ....may i say "greasy" sound?.....
jacko717 very greasy!
Ron is FROSTY
King of cool Ronnie Laine 👌
Rocking' Good News !!
Played the hell outa this lp, ANIAGAAWTABH, from the time it came out.
Mum wasn't wild bout it, but ....... to be expected with SWM,this and ..... the rest.
Still gets regular multiplayer times to this day.
R&R !
classic rock from the best rock band of there time still sounds great
awesome rock track, from legends faces the band rod stewart was in before he went solo. just a great 5 piece band.
According to one Art Gallery Owner Ron Wood is quite good at portraitures. Which is good news for me phew!
@TheAntman1265 Raunchy and Sleazy.... PERFECT!!!
This is so fucking heavy. Ace.
Wish they were all still on the go. They’d put a few to shame.
WOOOOHOO!! This is how it's mean't to be. (Ask Janmurph.)
God this band rocked. When music great
First, Jeff Beck, then the Faces when the Mod replaced Steve Marriott - the best work Rod ever produced before he became a boring pop star.
Fair, but he was a pretty damn good pop star too!
@@baybae92 - my mom discovered Rod in the seventies and, at 90, is one of his biggest fans. I love his work before mainstream stardom and even Iggy Pop delved into an album of classic pop standards from the 1930s on.
its the Faces NOT Rod Stewart AND the Faces , he was IN the group not a seperate entity
Indeed. A great collection of talent!
Yesssss!
The first mullet ever. Cheers Rod!
@quiltbee EXCELENTE
Oh fuckin YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merci!
Best 'pub band' ever-...
Romping Stomping Song. Faces Rule
I thought I'd heard all of Rod's tunes, but this one's new to me. Was this before Maggie?
No
Love Led Zep, Quo, Bad Co., Dire Straits,Moody Blues, but Faces are my fav ever band!!! (& Rod's a Celtic supporter) Don't get better than that!!!
Couldn't make out if Ronnie Wood is playing a Gibson Les Paul or a copy of some make. Anyone recognize that guitar? Thanks.
Estas imagenes le dan mil vueltas a los continuos cambios de plano de hoy en dia. El alma es efimera.
RAW AS FC
Fucking great!!!!!
Yes! Stewart is the Hendrix of rock singing!
Rod was one hell of a cool Mod
Even the raw version sounds better than 100% of today's garbage 'music'
@TheAntman1265 Anyone know what pedal or amp was using in that era? That "A nod is as good..." tone was raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!
blasted Fender Princeton
I doubt it, but tell us the bars they play in I'd like to check em out!
....and Ronnie lane too....
He probably wrote this song.
The man is rock n roll personified
@himycatisdead
R+B/Blues was king in the early 1970s ;)
I think the Rolling Stones even copied the Faces a bit at this time. Jeff Beck, Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart were doing this commercial R+B a bit before they mastered it. Although, Cream probably popularized it
Er Rod Stewart was one of the greatest front man. Shame his cheesy AC years overshadow his output during those years.
ron Wood in the guitar is amazing ...like jimy hendrix
How do I get that guitar sound? Is that the tonebender
Ronnie was so good... at this time
le deux RONNIE sont énorme
Fuck me, Rod was good!
+Michael Brunning I agree....I think this was when his voice was in peak form.....and while the ego was present....it wasn't all encompassing.....yet......but I have to say here the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.....
What a band! A perfectly oiled rock n roll machine
Would love to know which fuzz pedal is Ronnie using here…
What guitar is ronnie using here ?
Looks like a heavily customized les paul
Zematis
It's Faces, not The Faces and Rod Stewart.
That's right
ROCKBOOZEFUCKINROLL
Rod started off young as a great singer with Long John Baldry's band and then with Jeff Beck but the Faces were even better. Unfortunately Rod became bigger than the band and after Woody left for the Stones, it all fell apart.
⚡️⚡️⚡️
The only complaint id have is that it finished.
they don't make em like this anymore
Hey dude.. that's ronnie lane, not ronnie wood :-/
That is not Ronnie Lane. It is, in fact, Ron Wood.
fredfukkinbear kikkinnigass Ronnie Lane on bass, Ronnie Wood on guitar.
Shit hot!
Ronnie kills it. Frosty
Written by Ronnie Lane?
Rod was a King till he left The Faces (inclusive of his "solo" albums with The Faces). Rubbish after that!
Beefheart1 agreed!
NEVER EVER RUBBISH!!!!
In fairness this is up with the best.
rock an roll
whats not to like.
